I wonder how long it will be before the BBC copyright police get eBay to remove this?

Nice, but the guy who's modelling it looks like he needs to get out in the sun a bit.

Yeah, the headlights won't work without a decent dose of UV (according to the ad). How would it go under the blacklight at the disco? :lol:

Give one to the missus to wear as a nightie - "Flash those full beams, yeah, baby!" (said in your best Austin Powers accent) :oops:

My Glowing headlights Tee arrived this morning - it looks like it's coated in that poisonous stuff they used to paint on watch faces - I hope it's safe! :shock:

Should be safe as houses, as long as you don't wear it inside out or lick it. :P

Washed it twice now & the second wash at 40o ( opps!) seems fine though. Usualy eBay bout tee's shrink & the pattern fades or crumbles after ONE wash! :x
